CREATVZ builds websites, online stores and mobile apps for businesses in the United Kingdom from our London studio, including English and Arabic sites for UK brands that sell to the Gulf.
For brands in London and across the UK.
CREATVZ is a web development agency in the UK, working from a London studio. We build websites, online stores and mobile apps for UK businesses, including English and Arabic sites, with the design, the build and a hand-over your team can run. Send a short brief through the project form to start.
A website should not need rescuing every month.
Slow pages, broken forms, a CMS nobody can use and a developer who stopped replying: many sites cost more after launch than before it.
We design and build sites, stores and apps that load fast, work in Arabic and English, right to left and left to right, and can be updated by your team. Then we can stay on to keep them that way.

Website and app development in the UK
A UK site is judged on speed, accessibility and clarity, and ours are built to meet all three.
UK buyers are used to well-built sites. They compare you with every other site they use in a day, on a phone, often on the move. A page that jumps around while it loads or hides its contact details is abandoned quickly. We build for speed, clarity and accessibility from the start rather than patching them in later.
Accessibility deserves a specific mention. Contrast, keyboard navigation, readable forms and alt text should be part of the build, not an afterthought, and UK organisations in particular are increasingly asked about them. We include these in the design and testing process, and we can audit an existing site and fix what we find.
Our London studio works with UK brands directly, and with the same team that serves our Gulf studios. That second part is useful if you sell abroad. A UK business moving into Saudi Arabia, Bahrain or the wider Gulf often needs an Arabic version that reads right to left, uses natural Arabic copy and fits local habits such as cash on delivery. We design both the UK store and that second version properly, rather than a machine-translated copy.
Typical UK clients include independent retailers and direct-to-consumer brands, professional and legal practices, hospitality, property, charities, education and growing technology firms. A practice wants a calm, trustworthy site with clear enquiry routes; a retailer wants a store that handles a campaign day; a charity wants donation and event pages the team can edit.
For stores we use Shopify and WooCommerce, and we choose between them honestly based on your catalogue, your team and your plans. Salla and Zid come into the picture only if you also sell to Saudi shoppers. Payments, shipping, tax settings and tracking are configured in accounts that belong to you. For tax and customs rules, check with HMRC or your accountant; we set the store up once you know what applies.
Working remotely is normal for us. Reviews and handovers happen on video, designs and builds are shared in one place, and you do not need to visit a studio to have a site built. Where you do prefer a face-to-face meeting in London, we can arrange it.
We connect sites to the CRM, payment, email and analytics tools you already use, and we build iOS and Android apps where an app genuinely beats a website. After launch you can run the site with training or keep us on a monthly plan for hosting, updates, backups and small changes, and ownership of code, content, domain and accounts is agreed in writing beforehand.
How companies in the UK use website and app development
A UK brand selling to the Gulf
A British retailer wants to reach customers in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. We build an Arabic version of the store with right-to-left layouts, natural copy and the delivery options Gulf shoppers expect, beside the existing UK site.
A practice that needs a trustworthy site
A professional practice has a website that loads slowly and is hard to use on a phone. We rebuild it with clear pages, accessible forms and an enquiry route that goes straight to the right person.
A small business replacing an ageing store
An independent brand has outgrown its first store. We move it to a platform the team can run, tidy the product pages, and fix speed and search basics along the way.

Scope, features, content and integrations agreed in writing.

Questions
How much does website development cost in the UK?
It depends on scope: the number of pages and templates, Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build, connections to your CRM, payment or booking tools, accessibility needs, content and the deadline. We write the scope with you, then send a written fixed-scope quote, and any change is priced before work on it starts.
Can you build in Arabic and English?
Yes. We build bilingual sites with proper right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and separate search optimisation for each language.
Which platforms do you build on?
The one that suits the job: WordPress or Shopify when your team needs easy editing, custom builds when the product needs more. We explain the trade-offs before you choose.
Who owns the site when it is finished?
Ownership of the code, content, domain and accounts is agreed in writing before work starts, so there are no surprises later.
What happens after launch?
We can look after hosting, updates, backups and small changes on a monthly plan, or hand everything over to your team with training.
Do you build accessible websites?
Yes. Contrast, keyboard use, readable forms and alt text are part of the design and testing, and we can audit and fix an existing site.
Can you help a UK business sell in the Gulf?
Yes. We build an Arabic version that reads right to left, uses natural copy and fits local habits, alongside your UK site.
Do we need to visit your London studio?
No. Reviews and handovers happen on video. If you would like to meet in London, we can arrange that.
What about VAT and selling abroad?
Tax and customs rules depend on your business and your markets, so check them with HMRC or your accountant. We configure the store once you know what applies.
Shopify or WooCommerce for a UK store?
It depends on your catalogue, your team and your plans. We explain the trade-offs and recommend the one that fits, not the one we prefer.
Can you look after the site once it is live?
Yes. A monthly plan covers hosting, updates, backups and small changes, or we hand over with training.
